A Lake Bridgeport man associated with an international Christian organization called the Voice of the Martyrs was arrested earlier this month for allegedly making terroristic threats under the guise of radical Islam.
Allen R. Burgess, 42, was arrested for making a terroristic threat after Bridgeport police identified him as the suspect in a string of flyers posted around town that startled several citizens. The bulletins indicated that radical Muslims were intent on staging a deadly attack on the city of Bridgeport.
The police department began receiving calls about the flyers.
"At the first of the month, people started finding flyers hung up around town at places like Sonic and Diamond," said assistant police chief Steve Stanford. "The letters were terrorist based. They demanded that everyone leave town now, and that Islamic terrorists were going to kill 'you and your families.'"
